Good Afternoon!
Yep, it's hot in NYC. But again, it's summer, so it wasn't a surprise when I stepped outside.
*Alas, because of all the dancing, they tend to keep the the A/C on low - or off - in the rehearsal hall for
ACL. So, of course, I walk in today to play the lunchtime Cassie Dance rehearsal, and not only is Baayork Lee there - who I love and adore and am used to be in the room - but Patrick Vaccariello, the conductor, and Bob Avian, the director are there too. Talk about working up a sweat. Thankfully, the drummer is in for these rehearsals which makes my life a lot of easier. However, I'm still learning how they're pacing the whole scene into the song, and that underscoring can get tricky, so... No major mistakes today, but I was definitely feeling "tentative" early on. -And Patrick didn't come up to the piano and yell at me afterwards, so that's always a good thing.
